Comments:
This was the most fun with QRP I've had in a contest! The 3 element wire yagi
toward EU worked great but could not hear many Carribeans. Put up a last
minute 1/4 wave ground plane 20ft off the ground and picked up a few mults down
south. Thanks always to ZL3WW and KH6LC for my only Pacific QSO's. Those guys
have great ears! Surprised to work OX3XR and TA3D in pileups with the big boys.
UU2CW had nice 579 5W signal all weekend but never heard him CQ...would like to
have worked him. Glad 4U1UN jumped to 40M at 3:30PM ET for some local
QSO's...thanks guys for the mult!
